Wright & Partners descend the Vallée Blanche

26th May 2011

In March 2011, as part of their now bi annual skiing weekend, the four directors of the firm, David Coskie, Andrew Marriott and John Linton descended the infamous 25km off piste run from Punta Helbronner in Italy (11,348 ft altitude) down the Mont Blanc glacier to Chamonix (3,500 ft altitude).

Led by a mountain guide and wearing safety harnesses and avalanche radios the intrepid four made their way down the run with varying degrees of skill (!) taking six hours to reach Chamonix with a picnic stop on the way.
